How Much Money Does Jacob Zuma Make? Latest Income Salary

Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma (Zulu: [geÉ®Ê±ejiÉ¬eËˆkisa ËˆzÊ±uma]; born 12 April 1942) is a South African politician who served as the fourth President of South Africa from the 2009 general election until his resignation on 14 February 2018. Zuma is also referred to by his initials JZ and his clan name Msholozi.[7][8]

Zuma served as Deputy President of South Africa from 1999 to 2005,[9][10] but was dismissed by President Thabo Mbeki in 2005 after Zuma's financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, was convicted of soliciting a bribe for Zuma.

Zuma led the ANC to victory in the 2009 general election and was elected President of South Africa.

Zuma faced significant legal challenges before and during his presidency. He was charged with rape in 2005, but was acquitted. He has fought a long legal battle over allegations of racketeering and corruption, resulting from his financial advisor Schabir Shaik's conviction for corruption and fraud.

On 18 December 2017, Cyril Ramaphosa was elected to succeed Zuma as President of the ANC at the ANC Conference at Nasrec, Johannesburg.[14] Subsequent months saw growing pressure on Zuma to resign as President of South Africa, culminating in the ANC "recalling" him as President of South Africa.
